The Use of Limits in an Advanced Placement Chemistry CoursePaul S. Matsumoto, Jonathan Ring, and Jia Li (Lily) ZhuThis article describes the use of limits in topics usually covered in advanced placement or first-year college chemistry. This approach supplements the interpretation of the graph of an equation since it is usually easier to evaluate the limit of a function than to generate its graph.Matsumoto, Paul S.; Ring, Jonathan; Zhu, Jia Li (Lily). J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 1655.

A gas kinetic explanation of simple thermodynamic processesWaite, Boyd A.Proposes a simplified, semi-quantitative description of heat, work, and internal energy from the viewpoint of gas kinetic theory; both heat and work should not be considered as forms of energy but rather as different mechanisms by which internal energy is transferred from system to surroundings.Waite, Boyd A. J. Chem. Educ.1985, 62, 224.

Work of compressing an ideal gasBauman, Robert P.In formulating examples of compression problems there should be an explicit statement that the process is reversible, or at least slow.Bauman, Robert P. J. Chem. Educ.1964, 41, 102.
